To (ZZZ whom may conceive.

Be it known that l, RonLANo G. WIL- Lmns, c. citizen oi the United States, residing at the city of Bridgeport, in the county of hziiriield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and usefullznprovcments in Pole-Mountings; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exec: description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to iis invention relates "to oer sin new and ..iii improvements in ielegrsph and teleone pole inouniings, and the primary obc: thereof isnto provide a structure for 'ng and securing or" poles oi this me without embedding the some in the :rouud or in a cement or other foundation. invention further aims to provide a mounting which enables the lower end of e pole to be h ld above the base or founprovide an air space to minimize deieriorw iion oi the pole due to ihe action of collected water or moisture.

Further the invention to provide i vel supports for the pole which supports e formed with reinforcements, which lutr unc'tio'i ioalso afford increased anchor- 1 further and other objects will be e set forth and manifested in the course of the following description.

In the drawings:

Figure 1, is a fragmentary side elevation of the invention with the base in sect-ion;

Fig. 2 is a. similar view of a modified form of the invention;

3 is a similar view of a modified form of the invention;

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of one of the su ports, and

ig. 5 is a similar View of one of the clamps.

In proceeding in. accordance with the present, invention, a suitable concrete base or foundation, is employed in which, one support 2 of :1. pair of vertical suppor bs or uprights 2 and 3 is embedded at its lower end. The supports have curved inner faces '1 which conformably engage the pole 5 at diametrically opposite-sides of the latter and have central stiffening ribs 6 and 7. In the instance of file support 2 the lower end of the rib 6 is embedded in the concrete dniion upon which it is supported so as to base and thus increases the anchorage the support therein, while in ihe ins'lnnceoi? the rib i, the latter merges into a web or foot. 8 formed integral with the suppers 2 and rests upon the upper face of the base 1. The foot .8 15 formed with elon nted slols 9 to adjustnbly receive therein the upper ends of bolts l0 equipped wiih nuts 11, so as to allow of the udjusimen-tof the support 3 to accommodate poles of varying d hooters, following Wlllmi tie nuts are 1 till'ifi flfll to rigidly clamp the foot 8 down 0 the base or ioundoiion 19 he upper ends of the supports 9 and 3 or formed with apertures to receive a cross arm bola, 12 which extends through the polls 5 and which acis to tightly clamp the upper ends of she supports again t the opposite ides of pole, upon iighteninf of nut 12''. The ribs 6 and 7 are ini'iher iorn'icd with apertures to receive approximately s micircular strups or chimps l3 equipped with nucs 14, the clamps engaging about the "parts of the pole between the supports and preferably have a diagonal and relativ ly may be used on each side of the pole so that the latter is thus held efi'ecci'vely at all points throughout its circumference, the clumps-on one side of the being reversely inclined with respect lo the clamps on the opposiie side of the pole.

In the form of the invention shown in F ig. 2, a permanent structure is afforded, 2'. 6., both supports are fixed and immovable being each firmly embedded in the base.

In the form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 3, both supports are adjustable, so as to increase the range of diameters of poles which can be accommodated.

The pole it, will be observed is held with space 15 between iis lower end and the upper face ofthe base 1, consequently water can flow through said space and air is occessible thereto to retain the lower end of the ole dry,

at is claimed is:

1. In a pole mounting, a, concrete base, 2. pair of supports having longitudinal ribs one of which supporis has its lower end embedded in the base, the other support having a fool; which rests on top of the base and is formed with elongated bolt holes, bolts equipped with nuts embedded in the base and received in the said holes, said supports having curved faces, a pole ensupports. the curved parts of the supports .conformably engag ng the pole, and integral semi-circular rods engaged with the pole and over the curved parts of the supports and extending through the ribs and having nuts on their ends abutting the ex posed side faces of the ribs to draw the supports against the pole.

3. In a pole mounting, a base, a pair of vertical supports secured at one end to the base. each support having a central outwardly extending vertical rib between the sides of the supports and at approximate right angles thereto. a pole between the supports. and integral curved rods engaged with the pole and having their ends freely passed through one side of the-ribs and having .nuts on the ends of the rods directly engaged with the exposed opposite sides of the ribs to draw the rods against the pole. In testimony whereof I atiix my signature.
